This document discusses managing ebooks and digital content in libraries. It covers different ebook file formats, devices like Kindles and Nooks, and digital rights management. Licensing terms for Kindle, Nook, and Google Books are examined. The document also discusses how some libraries have approached cataloging and tracking ebooks purchased from vendors like Overdrive and individual titles purchased for devices. It concludes that licensing and copyright are challenging areas and that cataloging digital content is less difficult than addressing legal issues around file sharing and fair use.
